The Night Train is supported on eight caps.
Those 8′ – 6″ x 8′ – 6″ x 3′ deep concrete caps are built on 8 helical piers that are installed at an average depth of 50′ to obtain a 100 ton capacity per pile-cap with a 2:1 safety factor.
The compact robot was ideal for the pile installation which did not disrupt the plants daily operations.
We only need 10′ of headroom for installation, and the robot can fit through a 50″ door opening.

Techno Metal Post is the only company who offers hot dipped galvanized screw piles with the option to double your lifespan of the screw pile with our sacrificial ring anodes .
We have a company division called Techno Protection which specializes in protection of buried structures .
Techno Metal Post can offer sacrificial anodes or spin anodes as in impressed current to extend the lifespan of the screw piles to the extent you desire which is ideal in agressive soils or for deep foundations.
When we extend our screw piles we weld the joints together on our black steel posts giving the strongest joint possible and then we add the sacrificial anode system or the impressed current system which will give you a longer lifespan than hot dipped galvanized. Techno Metal Post ,the longest lasting screw pile in the industry.

Techno Metal Post is the only company in Manitoba to have CCMC certification which contains granular, silt and COHESIVE soils in its report where as when installed there is a direct relationship between the applied torque and allowable compressive loads up to 50,000 lbs .ccmc report 13059-r

The only other company to have a CCMC report on their screw piles states that when installed in cohesive soils it has to be confirmed by onsite load tests with the direct supervision of a professional geotech engineer . When they install in granular or silt soils they are only rated up to 16425 lbs and anything above that they need to confirm with onsite tests with the direct supervision of a geotech engineer.
Techno metal post is your only solution for Winnipeg’s cohesive soils.
One of our competitors may have a CCMC report but if you read their report and ours it clearly states who has the most reliable screw pile, Techno Metal Post.

Exclusive sleeve

The techno Metal Post’s exclusive sleeve.

This sleeve is made of heavy-duty polyethylene, and has been specially designed to surround the techno Metal Post helical piles.
Techno Metal Post designed and now manufactures this proprietary sleeve in-house in a variety of sizes that complement different post sizes.

The sleeve is installed around the pier while the pile is screwed into the soil.

Soil moves, but a Techno Metal Post won’t.

The principle is simple and proven. The sleeve slides along the screw pile during the inevitable movement that naturally occurs over the course of time. It allows the pile to remain stable despite movement caused by periods of freeze, thaw or drought.

Your building built on a techno Metal Post foundation will not budge. Guaranteed!

We installed eight Helical Piles per 8′ – 6″ x 8′ – 6″ x 3′ deep pile-cap at an average depth of 50′ to obtain a 100 ton capacity per pile-cap with a 2:1 safety factor to support the Night Train FMS, which is an automated storage system that handles and stores parts for later use. The compact […]
